January 2011 Bloomday

I’ve got nothing to share! I thought I might have an Aeonium flower, but not yet. I thought I might have a Grevillea blossom or three, nope.

I thought about posting pictures of the Mahonia x media ‘Charity flowers again, but after showing them in October, November and Decembers Bloomdays I figure that’s getting a little old.

And after MONTHS of waiting I thought I might have an extremely out of season Verbascum bloom to share, but I don’t think this thing is ever going to open up. Since I’ve been tracking its development for 4 months now I guess it’s time to share its unrealized potential. October 20th...

I know I know, photo taken 2 days before Bloomday! But trust me, nothing has changed. No blooms to be had here. To see actual blooms for Bloomday visit May Dreams Gardens, where all the flowers are today.

I really liked your progression shots. It looked like snow for January in the last shot. This was a novel idea for GBBD with one plant shot over many days since last month. Your Verbascum had almost a month of attention in images.

I give you full credit for a Bloom Day post even with no blooms, Loree! I didn't even start a post, since I had lots of hope and no results this month, too. I do love that verbascum progression. I didn't think they would make it even this long given our recent weather.
